Detailed explanation-1: -Short-term memory (STM) is the second stage of the multi-store memory model proposed by Atkinson-Shiffrin. The duration of STM seems to be between 15 and 30 seconds and the capacity about seven items.
Detailed explanation-2: -A capacity difference means that there is a limit in how many items short-term storage can hold. If there is only a limit in capacity, a number of items smaller than the capacity limit could remain in short-term storage until they are replaced by other items.
Detailed explanation-3: -Working memory has a limited capacity, typically described as comprising seven plus or minus two items, and a short duration of approximately 30 seconds maximum. The capacity of working memory can, however, be extended by the process of chunking, in which several items are grouped together into a single cognitive unit.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the information kept in short-term memory will be stored for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, or even less.
